Thank you for your interest in our package deal! With this particular bundle, there's an t-mount adapter ring that will attach to the end of the Vivitar lens which will allow it to connect to your D3000. This kind of lens only works in manual mode and manual focus only. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our sales department at 800-991-3350 EST. We thank you for your time and consideration!

According to various eBay sellers, they say this lense does work with the D3000. Will hopefully be ordering this lense soon for my D3000 so I'll let you guys know!

Please understand that I am a rank amateur with very little technical knowledge of these things. I bought the kit and the lenses do attach to the HS30. However, I was not able to get very good results, though that may be because I don't know how to use the various settings. If I were you, I would go to a camera store that sells the HS30 and ask for advice before investing in the lens kit.

It works with a D300 & D50 as those are the body's I own , would not recommend a fixed F8 lense. Should have returned

I am not sure if it is compatible with the d3000. It did work just fine with my d800.

Hi James, to us this lens with the A3000 camera, we suggest using the A-Emount lens adapter LA-EA1 or LA-EA2. Thanks_Mitch

You have to have a nikon camera with a focusing motor to auto focus with this lense.Make sure the lens is set and locked at f 22. Hope this helps.

I have a D5100 just set the focus square where you want it and it will focus. The lens must be in auto not manual.

I read the manual user book, ML-L3 work for Nikon D7100, but I follow the instruction in the book but I can not set it up

I have a Nikon and I really like this lens, especially at this price. I just checked the Amazon listing for the lens and your camera is not listed so you might need a special adapter or T ring. I recommend you call 47th street photo @ 800-304-2510 or 718-998-6666 to see if they have it. They're closed Sat & Sun. Good Luck.

Most, if not ALL, made-for-Nikon lenses should work, Debbie. My son is using a Sigma 18-200mm AF lens on his D3000 and my Tamron 28-80mm manual focus lens works with it, too, although it has no auto-focus capability. The Tamron lens works well with my Nikon D40X.

It works on my Nikon 3200 so it should work on the D3000, however you have to use manuel focus.

I have not seen any reference in the D3000 data to say whether it can be used with Nikon pre-AF fully manual lenses. This would be the controlling factor on whether this would work on that camera. When used with the 1980s-90s vintage Series II Tamrons on the Nikon dF, none of the normal aperture metering works, however the image in the view field lightens and darkens as you move the ring, which indicates the blades are opening and closing, and depth of field changes. Exposure then is basically take a shot and see if it looks ok.

Hi, This lens as you says the D3000, D5000, D7000 in the series of camera does not work for the auto focus. And you can manual shooting. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately I know nothing about the D300 as I have a D3100 and it works wonderfully on the D3100.

Yes it will work with the D300S. I would not buy a 17-55 DX lens as other have mentioned unless you plan to keep DX forever. The writing is on the wall. Nikon is pushing "full frame" and not much support for the "higher end" DX format anymore. I have a D300 and only one DX lens which is the 18-200. The other 9 lenses i have are full frame and i have no issues with framing and the 1.5X multiplier.
